While 2014 may have seen its share of celebrity breakups, there were also many new unions to be accounted for! Even George Clooney, who swore he’d never walk down the aisle again, decided to give marriage another go this year!

Let’s hope none of these newlyweds make our 2015 list for celebrity divorces…

They found love on television…so it’s no surprise that they celebrated their marriage in the same way! The Bachelor couple tied the knot live on ABC on January 26, and have continued to remain inseparable ever since.

Stacy may not have been the girlfriend George Clooney chose to take to the altar…but the former WWE star had a wedding of her own to celebrate! Just months after splitting from the A-Lister, Stacy began dating Jared, and their whirlwind romance culminated with a secret March 8 wedding in Mexico. Just a few weeks later, the couple announced they were expecting their first child.

Jodie officially came out during a long-winded speech at the 2013 Golden Globes, and just over a year later, she tied the knot with Alexandra in a secret ceremony in April. The ladies began dating less than a year earlier.

The odds were definitely in Ashlee’s favor this year! The 30-year-old married her Hunger Games beau on Labor Day Weekend at his mom, Diana Ross’, Connecticut estate. They got engaged just months earlier, at the beginning of January, after a short courtship.

It was definitely the year of the Duggars, and Jessa kept the ball rolling for her famous family by marrying Ben in Arkansas on Nov. 1. The couple famously decided to skip their first kiss at the wedding, opting to go for it in private instead…but haven’t been shy about their PDA since!

But Jessa wasn’t the only Duggar to walk down the aisle! Just months earlier, Jill married Derick in an equally-large ceremony on June 21 — and that wasn’t their only happy news for 2014! Two months after the wedding, the 19 Kids and Counting couple revealed they’re expecting their first child.

It’s about time these two were able to make things legally official! After ten years together, Neil and David secretly got married in an intimate, but A-List-filled, ceremony in Italy in September — and Elton John performed at their reception!

No one knew this one was coming — and that’s just the way Ashley planned it! The actress married Christopher on a Monday in September, and news didn’t hit the public until she, herself, posted photos on Instagram from the ceremony shortly after.

It turns out you can find true love from a one night stand! After two babies together, Snooki and Jionni finally tied the knot in a Great Gatsby-themed wedding on Nov. 29 — just two months after welcoming their daughter, Giovanna. The wedding was filmed for Snooki & JWoww and is expected to air sometime during its final season, which airs on MTV Wednesdays.

That was fast! These two only just got engaged in April, with Jenny debuting her massive ring on The View, and were married by September. Their Aug. 31 nuptials took place in Chicago, and less than a month later, the actress revealed she’d already lost her wedding ring!

We spent years watching Lauren get her heart broken on television, but this year, she finally found her happy ending! After months of careful planning, the designer married law student and Something Corporate rocker William on Sept. 13 in Saint Ynez, California, surrounded by family and friends.

They’re one of the most private couples in Hollywood, but they couldn’t keep this one away from the public! Leighton and Adam got married very secretly in February, allegedly in Mexico, but fans spotted a wedding ring on the actor’s finger during their trip back to the States. Days later, The O.C. star quietly confirmed the nuptial news.

Another notoriously private star, Scarlett was surprisingly able to keep her wedding news out of the media for two months! On Dec. 1, news finally broke that she and Romain had married in September, not long after the birth of their daughter, Rose.

This wedding was supposed to have happened a lot sooner…but Jess accidentally got pregnant with the couple’s second child instead! A year after Ace’s June 2013 birth, though, the fashion designer was finally ready to walk down the aisle, and did just that when she married Eric in a July 4 weekend ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.

Adam officially went off the market in mid-July, when he married the Victoria’s Secret model in a star-studded wedding in Los Cabos, Mexico. Jonah Hill officiated the ceremony, with other celebs like Jason Segel and Robert Downey Jr. also in attendance.

They’re well past the 72-day mark…which is already a step in the right direction compared to Kim’s last marriage. The reality star and rapper had an over-the-top wedding weekend, starting things off with a rehearsal dinner at the Palace of Versailles in France, and herding all their guests to Italy the very next day for the ceremony. While they’ve kept most photo and video footage from their wedding private, a photo of the buzzed-about couple kissing at the altar currently holds the record for most Instagram likes!

They finally did it! At their kids’ request, Brad and Angelina finally walked down the aisle, nearly ten years after they got together on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The August wedding was top-secret, and wasn’t announced by their rep until five days after the ceremony. The couple’s intimate nuptials (even Angie’s dad had no idea!) took place on Aug. 23 at the Chateau Miraval in France.

World’s most eligible bachelor no more! After his divorce from Talia Balsam in 1993, George swore he’d never marry again…but all that changed when he met the British-Lebanese lawyer in 2013. The actor popped the question in April, and the pair said “I do” in a private ceremony in Venice, Italy at the end of September.

Either Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici are really good liars…or they actually did abstain from having sex for more than a year! The newlyweds publicly decided to wait until marriage before having sex for the first time, something that Jimmy Kimmel just couldn’t believe they’d actually gone through with.

To test the couple, the late night host asked them both to take a lie detector test after appearing on his show last week — and they agreed. On Monday, just one day after The Bachelor lovebirds tied the knot on live TV, he aired the results.

A professional polygraphist administered the test, in which both Sean and Catherine said “no” when asked if they’d had sex with the other, and they were telling the truth! The expert said his results were “definitive,” meaning he believes with “an 80, 90…maybe 100 percent certainty” that they’re correct.

The couple met on The Bachelor and got engaged in November 2012 — yes…14 months ago!

It was a good year for the Grammy Awards! The 56th Annual awards show brought in 28.5 million viewers, with a 10.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic, according to CBS. Last year’s show had 28.4 million viewers, also with a 10.1 rating in the demo.

At the same time, Bachelor coupleSean Lowe and Catherine Giudici’s wedding aired live on ABC. Unfortunately, the nuptials didn’t pull in big numbers, with 6.2 million viewers and just a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That number is down from the reality show’s current season, featuring Juan Pablo Galavis, which had 7.8 million viewers last Monday.

However, there was a major ratings boost compared to the network’s last televised wedding for Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum in 2012 — a 53 percent increase in viewers, to be exact!

Another Bachelor couple says “I Do!” On Sunday evening, Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici tied the knot in ABC’s first-ever live, televised wedding. The nuptials came just over a year after he proposed in Thailand, and ten months after millions of viewers watched it pan out on television.

The 31-year-old wiped tears from his eyes while his wife-to-be walked down the aisle in a strapless Monique Lhuillier gown. During the ceremony, which was officiated by Sean’s dad, the couple read their own vows to one another.

“Sometimes I think I’m going to explode from how much I love you,” Catherine gushed. “I’m completely consumed by you. And tonight, we get to become one. I promise to love you until my heart bursts. I promise to love you until after our children are old and gray…You’re my dream and my reality, my future and my present, my whole heart and my best friend.”

Sean’s vows were next. “Every day, I am encouraged by your love, and as your husband, I promise to always put you first,” he said. “I promise to be the best father I can be to our children, and I promise to always make you laugh with my silly faces and ridiculous voices…I love you and I’m going to love you for eternity.”

Other Bachelor alums, including Trista and Ryan Sutter, J.P. and Ashley Rosenbaum and Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried were in attendance at the wedding.

In just two days, Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici will tie the knot in a live, televised wedding on ABC. The couple made their last rounds of press this week, with a final stop at Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday to promote their big day.

During the interview, Jimmy Kimmel brought up The Bachelor lovebirds’ infamous decision to remain abstinent until their wedding night. The talk show host couldn’t help but express his shock over this rarely heard of information.

“Do you know how to do it?” he joked, before offering himself up as just a phone call away in case they needed any tips. At the end of their chat, Jimmy asked Sean and Catherine if they’d take a lie detector test so he could find out if they actually hadn’t slept together yet — and they agreed!

He’ll share the results on Monday’s show, but for now, check out how Sean and Catherine giggle their way through the awkward questions:

With their televised Jan. 26 wedding fast approaching, Bachelor alum Sean Lowe, 30, and his fiancée, Catherine Giudici, 27, have a lot to be excited about. The couple gushed to Star about their big day at the Shed the Weight & Share the Warmth campaign launch in New York City on Dec. 11, when they partnered with Hydroxycut SX-7 and GNC to donate $10,000 to the charity One Warm Coat.

How is the wedding planning coming along?
CG: It hasn’t been stressful at all. We have an amazing team behind us and Sean and I have very similar styles, so it’s been easy.

Can you share any details about the big day?
CG: The color scheme is gold! Because we got engaged in Thailand, we’re focusing on gold and gilded things — we think it’s really symbolic to our relationship. Gold is such a vibrant and fun color that represents a lot of things about us.

Any babies in your future?
SL: Catherine wants five. We both want to wait a few years before we start a family, but it’s definitely in our future. It’s something we’re really looking forward to.
CG: Yep, I want five!

What are your plans for New Year’s Eve?
SL: We’ll be in New York City. It will be a first for me, and I’m excited. I’ve heard about the throngs of people who flood the streets, so I’m excited to get to experience that with Catherine.

Even if BachelorSean Lowe and his winning lady Catherine Giudici didn’t want to televise their upcoming wedding…this deal would be pretty hard to turn down! The lovebirds will reportedly get paid six-figures to say “I do” in a special airing on ABC — that’s in addition to the million dollar ceremony the network is helping them plan.

On Monday, the couple announced that they’d be tying the knot on Jan. 26 and that they would share their nuptials with the world. Bachelor host Chris Harrison will also host the special, and Lesley Murphy, who competed against Catherine to win Sean’s heart, will serve as one of 12 bridesmaids.

After getting dumped by Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette, Sean returned as The Bachelor and chose Catherine at the final rose ceremony. The duo moved to Los Angeles together after the show aired, while the 29-year-old competed on Dancing With the Stars. Now, they live separately in Dallas, where they hope to settle down together after the wedding.

The Bachelor family was shocked by the news that fellow contestant Gia Allemand chose to end her life this week. After learning of the news that the 29-year-old had tragically passed away, several of the show’s former stars shared their support for the model and her family on Wednesday.

As Star exclusively reported, Gia hung herself on Monday. She was admitted in critical condition and remained that way until Wednesday morning, when a critical loss of brain and organ function caused doctors to withdraw life support.

Gia participated on Season 14 of The Bachelor, where she was eliminated in the final three by Jake Pavelka. She then went onto compete on The Bachelor Pad.

Check out our round-up of tweets from her fellow ABC reality stars:

“I am in complete shock and devastated to hear the news about Gia. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known and a very dear friend. My heart goes out to her family during this very difficult time. We have lost angel today. I miss you Gia,” – Jake Pavelka

“My prayers go out to @GiaAllemand ‘s family during this time. Life on earth is but a vapor and she’s with our Lord now.” -Sean Lowe

Most fairytales on The Bachelor don’t turn out with a happy ending, but things are going smoothly so far for the show’s most recent couple Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici! After Sean revealed at the live finale in March that he and his pick Catherine are still happily engaged, they’ve been living their romance in the public eye.

Immediately after The Bachelor ended, Sean started competing on Dancing With the Stars, which kept them busy for another 10 or so weeks. Now that the couple finally has some free time, though, they’re totally taking advantage of it. Most recently, they’ve been tearing up NYC…and making sure we know all about their adventures via Instagram and Twitter.

Season 9 of The Bachelorette premieres Monday, May 27 with Sean Lowe’s fourth place ex Desiree Hartsock trying for another shot at love. While Des is obviously hoping for the best, a lot of times the relationships from the show (and it’s counterpart The Bachelor) don’t exactly work out and last.

However, there have been some success stories, with the show making it possible for eight current, happy couples to begin a relationship. Check out which contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are still together…even if they weren’t necessarily from the same season!

After being rejected on Season 1 of The Bachelor, Trista Rehn came back as the first Bachelorette, where she chose Ryan Sutter as her winner. The couple was married on Dec. 6, 2003 in a three-part, televised wedding special. Since then, they’ve mostly retired from the spotlight and live in Colorado with their two kids.

Jason Mesnick’s proposal was rejected when he was a contestant on The Bachelorette, but he got another chance as Season 13’s Bachelor. He originally chose and proposed to Melissa Rycroft, but revealed at the After the Final Rose Ceremony that he was still seeing runner-up Molly Malaney. Jason and Molly got married on Feb. 27, 2010, and have a daughter together, in addition to Jason’s son from a previous relationship.

Ashley Hebert was rejected on Season 15 of The Bachelor, but found love as Season 7’s Bachelorette when she chose J.P. Rosenbaum. They were married on Dec. 1, 2012.

Emily Maynard dumped Sean in third place on Season 8 of The Bachelorette, but he came back as Season 17’s Bachelor, the show’s most recent season. He and winner Catherine Giudici have been engaged since the show ended, and are planning a televised wedding. They’ve stayed in the spotlight recently because of Sean’s work on Dancing With the Stars.

John Presser, eliminated on Season 5 of The Bachelorette and Tara Durr, eliminated on Season 9 of The Bachelor, met through the show and were married in November 2010. They have one kid.

Peyton Wright, who was rejected on Season 10 of The Bachelor, married Chris Lambton, rejected on Season 6 of The Bachelorette, in May 2012. The couple is currently happily married after a year.

Holly Durst was rejected on Season 12 of The Bachelor. Blake Julian faced the same fate on Season 7 of The Bachelorette. Luckily, these two got through their heartbreak with the help of one another, and they wound up getting married in June of 2012.

Jesse Csincsak was the winner on Season 4 of The Bachelorette, but his relationship with DeAnna Pappas wasn’t long-term. Eventually, he meet Season 13 Bachelor reject Ann Lueders, and they got married in August 2010. Now, they have one son together.
